I would have jumped on that like she was Raquel Welch, like Ava Gardner, like Gail Garrett Clark. $899 is a steal ... mind sharing the location of that rifle with me in a PM? I'll be on the phone...

I get it ... bumping an oldie but goodie. Only us SIG 357 fans can truly appreciate this thread. Finally stumbled upon this same 6 holer ... really looking forward to giving these a try.

Yeaaaahhhhhhh I dunno there bisleyfan41. My particular offspring would be pissed if I sold that Marlin, or any of them for that matter. Besides, they're like gold right now ... they're not...

Insanity abounds.
At those rates I have easily a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of Marlins.
I do not believe for one second that-that Marlin is unfired. I cannot imagine a...

Thank you ... yeah, that's what I've been told. Bob sent me an email before he shipped the rifle telling me he was going-to make that rifle special, it being the last one to leave the factory before...

If it is pristine it can be worth a few grand right now. Mine is apparently worth more because it was/is the last rifle that came out of the New Haven facility and I have provenance to prove that...

Amen Brother ... or, for that matter, walk around with it in the off position. Replace it with a plug and brass ring. Put an ivory insert in it with a little diamond in the middle. Stick a golf...

It is amazing to me how many people make a big deal out of the cross bolt safety. Don't get me wrong, I have a bunch of JM stamped Marlins, old ones, newer ones, 50s, 60s, 70s ... as long as mine do...

I'm trying to hold onto my 3031, 322 and 4198 for some hunting loads, jacketed Hornadys, (not the FTXs although I've got a bunch of FTXs but not a bunch of the new dimension brass).

You're not wrong. Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for us poor, not-well-healed, folk from here on out.

That's actually true. We had a ton of discontent on the Marlin Forum almost from day one when Remington bought them out and we started hearing from so many of the old timers who were contacting us...

I used-to use a ton of Wolf Magnum small rifle primers when I could get them from Widener's back in the day ... cheap and plentiful. Loved them in 5.56 service rifle loads. IMHO they performed as...

I'm with you except the JM stamped Marlins are what they are and they'll never be made again. Ruger missed a great chance to keep the Huntsville factory open and stamp the new rifles with HUNT ......
